Not sure why your change event isn't getting fired; try doing 2 things:
- in Flash, when you associate the ActionScript class to a movie clip, put a
copy of the UIComponent on frame 2 with a stop(); action on frame 1 to
prevent it from ever getting to frame 2.
- change your code from:
dispatchEvent({type: "change"});
to:
dispatchEvent({type: "change", target: this});

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Using Components in Flash
Let me put my question in a different way.
The code that I posted in earlier mail doesnt fire the change event
On the change event of the component in the flash app nothing happens.
I am able to capture the value on the click of a button but I want
to capture that value on the click of the component.
Any idea ??

Ketan Bengali.
